The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 171: Secret clues, two people work together to find out

Yun Mujiu recalled what Ye Xiaohan said before he entered the room, and asked, "Your Highness, I guess if the emperor's people were to do something, they would definitely do it in a very secretive way. Maybe it's something colorless and odorless? Since you've checked the outer packaging, have you found anything?"

"You are right. I took people to check last night, and the herbs and medicine boxes that Wei Bai and Butler Zeng had purchased before were all correct. And in the last period, some of the six small boxes of herbs that Wei Song brought back had an unknown film on the outside."

Yun Mujiu frowned, and the guess in his mind was confirmed a little bit.

"On the day of the herb bath, there was nothing wrong with the herbs brought back by Wei Bai and housekeeper Zeng. Then, Doctor Wu and his daughter put in the chalcedony ganoderma and golden scale fruit brought back by Wei Song, and then poured in the Fengling Snow Lotus liquid. That's when the problem arose..."

Yun Mujiu speculated: "Are they the two sandalwood boxes containing chalcedony ganoderma and golden scale fruit?" She remembered that Wu Mingwei took out chalcedony ganoderma and golden scale fruit from the sandalwood boxes, then crushed the medicinal herbs and put the processed herbs in the sandalwood boxes.

Ye Xiaohan looked at him with appreciation and explained carefully, "That's right. These medicines were purchased by Wei Song from the Medicine Pavilion at a high price. In order to preserve the precious medicinal materials, the Medicine Pavilion usually uses special small wooden boxes. When someone buys the medicinal materials, the Medicine Pavilion will give them to the customer together with the small wooden box."

Yun Mujiu asked, "Has the unknown film component been detected?"

Ye Xiaohan shook his head: "Still investigating." Now that there are clues, it's only a matter of time before the problem is found.

He observed Yun Mujiu's expression and said, "You should have a good rest. I will find out the answer soon."

Yun Mujiu didn't want to delay any longer. Her medical skills were not bad, and she had a doctor system, so it should be easier for her to handle the case than Ye Xiaohan's people.

"My Lord, let me check it out."

"Are you okay?" Ye Xiaohan didn't intend to let Yun Mujiu continue to participate. The matter of investigating the Wu Shen doctor and his daughter had made Yun Mujiu's condition worse. Such trivial matters were not as important as Yun Mujiu's physical safety.

"I can do it," Yun Mujiu's eyes were firm, "Prince, let me do it!"

Ye Xiaohan was helpless: "Okay, I'll have someone send the sandalwood box over."

Yun Mujiu's lips curled slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, the two of them talked for a while, but it was mainly Ye Xiaohan who talked, and Yun Mujiu listened quietly.

He recounted some situations in the capital, including that Yun Xiang's wife and children and some of their servants had contracted a strange disease, various reports about the crown prince's impotence, and that the emperor had sent people to track down the night palace carriage that had left the city.

Yun Mujiu did not show any surprise, and said lightly: "That's good, they deserve it. Your Majesty, if I say that I was the one who did all the harm to Yun Boliang's wife, children and the prince, would you be surprised? Would you think I'm cruel?" "They" refers to the prince and the people in the Yun Mansion.

"No, you did the right thing. If you have a grudge, you should take revenge, no matter what means." Ye Xiaohan tapped the arm of the chair and said, "I support you."

Ye Xiaohan was not surprised that Yun Mujiu called her father by his name. As time went by, and after finding out that Yun Mujiu was wrongly accused yesterday, he became more aware of how deep Yun Mujiu's hatred for the Yun family was.

"Okay. I, Yun Mujiu, don't care about what's right and righteous. If they kill me, they will have to pay the price!"

Yun Mujiu was filled with anger. When she saw Ye Xiaohan's puzzled look, she knew that the word "killed" confused Ye Xiaohan. She was alive and well now, so how could she have died?

She explained: "My Lord, when I met you in the suburbs, do you know how I ended up there?"

Ye Xiaohan recalled the investigation done by the secret guards, "The Ye family mother and daughter had someone kidnap you..."

"Well, they had someone knock me out and sold me to a brothel to be a prostitute... but you don't know what happened afterwards."

Yun Mujiu suddenly wanted to tell what had happened, and it was rare for him to talk about the past with Ye Xiaohan.

"On the way out of Beijing, two thugs tried to assault me. I fought back desperately, but they pushed me down and hit my head on a rock..."

Ye Xiaohan's heart was gripped with grief, and he wanted to hug Yun Mujiu.

"This kind of thing will never happen again. I will always protect you." He doesn't mind what happened to Yun Mujiu in the past. What he cares about is the present and the future.

He said coldly again: "I killed them all."

"No, I will take revenge myself."

Yun Mujiu glanced at Ye Xiaohan, guessed what was going on in his mind, and corrected him: "I almost died after I was knocked unconscious. Fortunately, I woke up after a few breaths, and saw two villains running towards me." She kept the words here. The one who fainted was the original owner, and she was the one who woke up...

"Later, I killed them with a wooden hairpin and a stone. Later, I met you who was injured on my way back to Beijing."

Ye Xiaohan felt a little relieved when he heard Yun Mujiu's casual tone - he didn't want Yun Mujiu to get hurt.

His eyes were fixed on Yun Mujiu, whose expression was calm, but with hidden hatred in his eyes. He rarely saw Yun Mujiu with hatred in his eyes.

"If you need anything, tell me." What he meant was that he would assist Yun Mujiu.

Yun Mujiu didn't say anything. She didn't know how to answer Ye Xiaohan. She was confused. Ye Xiaohan thought Yun Mujiu was reminiscing about the past and didn't say anything more.

This was a perfect misunderstanding, preventing the two from having negative emotions due to rejection or being rejected...

At noon, Ye Xiaohan had someone deliver two sandalwood boxes to Yun Mujiu.

Doctor Fu asked if he needed any assistance, but Yun Mujiu politely declined, saying that he would check first and would ask if he needed help.

She asked everyone to leave and close the doors and windows, then walked to a round table, on which was a large ordinary wooden box, a small wooden box, and her own medicine box.

Yun Mujiu opened the wooden box carefully and saw two sandalwood boxes placed inside. There was also a stack of silk on the bottom of the wooden boxes, probably to prevent the sandalwood boxes from losing their surface material due to friction.

Yun Mu sat down, put on gloves, and carefully observed the inside and bottom of the sandalwood box. Sure enough, he found an extremely thin layer of pure white film.

She picked out a small piece of film with a fine needle and then smelled it carefully.

The inner film has only a faint herbal fragrance, which is the smell of Chalcedony Ganoderma and Golden Scale Fruit. The outer film has no smell at all.

This shows that the film itself is odorless.

Yun Mujiu felt depressed.

The clues from Doctor Wu's side have been found out - the Yinling grass in the spice and the Zhenling that Wu Mingwei added extra produced poisonous gas.

As for the clue from the emperor, it is that there is a problem with the film on the surface of the medicine box.

Thinking back to when she was moved from the woodshed back to Qichiyuan, she analyzed the situation on her own after waking up: the medicinal herbs might have repelled or counteracted other things!

Yun Mujiu opened the doctor's system and carefully examined the film. If someone was present, they would see Yun Mujiu holding tweezers and carefully turning the film. But the fact is that Yun Mujiu turned the film more to allow the doctor's system to better detect the film's composition.

After a cup of tea, Yun Mujiu stopped turning over the film and blinked her eyes. She felt uncomfortable staring at the film for a long time.

With the corner of his eye sweeping across the table, he saw a small wooden box that Ye Xiaohan had sent over. Inside was the raw materials for the spices used by Doctor Wu and his daughter.

Yun Mujiu took out several kinds of herbs, crushed them, and then mixed the crushed particles with the film.

After a while, she opened the closed door and said, "Someone, I want to see the prince!"
